In the music player above you can listen to the tracks:
"Dark Alley", "You Make Me Sick", and "Wish I Could Turn Back the Time", if you wanna know what RLQ sounds like! They are recorded December 2006 at Stora Studion, KMH.
"You Can Do It" is a clip from Roman Andrén's new record "Juanita & Beyond" (ajabu!/P-Vine Records) with Rickard playing the muted trumpet - melody and solo. It's recorded May 2008 in Malmö. Please visit www.romanandren.com for more info!
"In a Rainy Mood" is from a short studio session just for fun, for about two years ago with Rickard on trumpet, Oscar Görres on electric piano, Henrik Linder on electric bass, and Aron Mellergård on drums. It turned out to be a quite nice and very slick fusion song.
Please enjoy!
